News From Barnum Snake Charmer

Among the odd events of the day is a
singular passage in the life of a female
snake charmer who, under the picturesque
| and Oriental pseudonym of Nala Dana
| janti, has been drawing large crowds to a
| certain popular place of entertainment in
| Paris of late. The lady's real name is
Emile Poupon, and she was born in the
| Department of the Jura.
A certain Nj. Fortini, who is also dis
| family connected with the stage, recently
thought that he recognized in the Inca
ments of Nala Damajanti the true image
| and likeness of woman named Guillabert,
a native of Mauritius, who owed him a CON
| siderable sum of money. NJ. Fortini COM
municated his suspicious to huissier, and
the result was that the man of the law,
! armed with sheet of stamped paper CON
tanning series of illegible scrawls intended
to represent a writ, made his appearance
one day in Nine. Poupon's room in the con-
cert hall, where she nightly exhibited her
skill, confiscated all her available property,
including her eight boa constructors, and
finally put what is called opposition on her
salary.
Nine Poupon. however, appeared before
the courts to-day, and following Mr.. Wei
ler's tardy injunction to his son, proved an
alibi. She easily convinced the court that
she was not Nine Guillabert of Port Louis in
Mauritius, but a native of Natey. where she
was DOfn III 1901. IN Une year 1881 she was
a governesS in French family in ST. Peters
burg, where she kept company with gem
tleman rejoicing in the Alglo-Saxon appel
lation of Palmer, who, in the pursuit Of his
profession, used TO walk on a glass ceiling
like fly the said ceiling being introduced
into.a circus, where Mr.. Palmer performed
for the delectation of the subjects of the
Gar
The susceptible heart Of Mile Poupon was
infiamed with violent affection for this
acrobat, whom she married From her hus-
band she learned the art of snake charming,
and at one time formed part of Barnums
troupe in America. Finally Nine. Nala Da-
majanti proved that she was performing in
New York when the money claimed by NJ
Fortipi had been advanced to the villain
Guillabert After these representations the
court ordered the withdrawal of the writ of
seizure, and M. Fortini made his excuse to
the interesting performer.

NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL.
A Story That Shows That LATTE, the
Pirate, Had Good Heart.


From the Alexandria (La.) To,cn TdK.
James I. Flint citizen of Alexandria
La, relates this anecdote Of LATTE, the
pirate of the Gulf. The story was told him
by his grandmother, Mrs. Martha Martin,
of Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. Martin settled in
the lower part of this State about the year
1910. Being the owner of the Potter planta-
ton on the Teche, and planting largely of
cane, he needed, of course, supplies, and
particularly salt and iron, which articles
were scarce and hard to get at the time,
owing to the war with England in 1Sl2-15
He knew the desired articles could be OBJ
tanned from Latitte, and after some search
ing found him at his rendezvous on one of
the little islands off the coast of this State.
Mr.. Martin, after securing all he wanted
started for home with his boat we'll loaded
but in a storm the next day all on board
including the cargo, were lost except Mr.
Martin, who was cast upon an island
While on this lonely island he was found by
Lafitte a few days after the accident
Lafitte's timely arrival saved his life, and
after hearing the cause of Mr. Martins mis-
fortune returned to his rendezvous, taking
him with him; and after a stay of several
days together he loaded another boat with a
duplicate cargo for Mr. Martin, and saw
him safely landed on shore, and all, too,
without charge. Some time after this, Mr..
and Mrs. Martin were returning on a visit
to their home at Nashville before the battle
of New Orleans. Crossing Berwick's bay at
point now called, i think, Morgan city,
and while they We're eating breakfast in the
hotel, LATTE, disguised, made himself
known to them, and it was then that Mr..
Martin had it in his power and did do for
Lafitte what Lafltte had done for him; and
it was then that Lafitte gave him a letter to
be delivered to the Governor of the State,
or possibly Gen. Jackson, who was per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Martin. Mrs Martin
never knew the contents of this letter but
she believed it contained Lafitte's offer to
assist Gen. jackson if pardon was granted

PECULIAR FEATURES.
The Senatorial contest in this State pre-
sents some exceedingly interesting features
that receive the attention of the public all
over the land The two leading candidates
are warm personal friends, both have been
elected Governor of the State and each
helped the other in those elections, but now
when the question of further promotion is
reached, the honor is naturally deserved by
both and their friends array themselves ac-
cordingly. When the members of the Legisla-
ture were elected last November it was not
generally known that Gov. Perry would be
a candidate and it was supposed that a very
large majority of the members elected were
favorable to ex-Gov Bloxham's candidacy,
but as time passed and the period for the
assembling of the Legislature drew near it
became apparent that Gov. Perry's follow
ing was a strong one and that certain per-
sons and measures were being industriously
used to defeat Bloxham.
THE BREACH wIDENS.
The friends of the two asplrants soon be-
came so determined in their opposition each
TO the other that the breach grew wider and
wider daily, until now it seems that it is of
such permanent nature that the Legisla-
ture viii be unable to make an election.
The friends of Mr.. Pasco put his name for
ward thinking he could break the deadlock,
but it soon became apparent that he could
.&ot. The people of the State expect choice
q be made between Perry and Bloxham,
nd no special attention is given to any
bird man. Nearly all the newspapers III
Re State, and apparently large majority
NJ the people, desire Bloxham's election, but
oough of the members of the Legislature
@pose him to prevent his nomination.
